I am using UIDatePickerStylepact to show a compact picker for selecting time:

let picker = UIDatePicker()
picker.preferredDatePickerStyle = pact
picker.datePickerMode = .time

picker.addTarget(self, action: #selector(startTimeChanged(sender:)), for: .valueChanged)

@objc func startTimeChanged(sender: UIDatePicker) {
    //do something
}

This results in below picker:

This works well and the .valueChanged lets me know when the time selection is changed.

However, is there also a way of knowing when the picker is dismissed (typically by tapping outside the picker view)? I tried using .touchUpOutside but it isn't triggered when picker is dismissed. However, if I use .allEvents, then my selector is called multiple times, including when dismissed, but I have no idea which event caused it.

I figured it out. The event .editingDidEnd calls my selector when the picker is dismissed.

picker.addTarget(self, action: #selector(dismissed(sender:)), for: .editingDidEnd)

@objc func dismissed(sender: UIDatePicker) {
    //do rest
}
